This reminds me of A. Huxley. "The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly."

last night the pretty Korean girl nearby and i kept exchanges glances (or did we??). then when her friend went to the bathroom room she started checking her phone. Putting her phone away she arched back, stretching. she was wearing a very heavy sweater, but what amazing breasts! what subtle flirtation! Kindness on a cold winter night. Great Anne words. thanks.

So I've always really like the last verse of To A Louse by Robert Burns. Burns night on the 25th by the way. But I actually don't understand what he means by the very last line. Do any of you have a clue? It makes sense to say that if we could in fact see ourselves clearly, that we wouldn't care about... Read More

Thank you for getting my set with @janesinner and @andrealaz to the front page. I'm glad people enjoyed the concept and little story so much. We shot it in Portugal early last summer. I came from Scotland, Jane came from Russia and Andrea came from Brazil via Germany!

You guys probably know that I have had quite a fascination with Russian culture for yearsRead More

Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year. After that we can start heading towards the light again.

The job I left last week was my work in a psychiatric hospital where I did activities with people with advanced dementia. I loved those patients and I will miss them. They deserve all the patience and kindness and support in the world.

I really understand the feeling of not being valuable if one is not directly helping others, and I battle with feeling selfish for hiding away and making art for a living. I'm just so sensitive, it's hard for me to be around people who are suffering because I end up taking on their pain. I get nightmares, have really strong emotions at the slightest thing (this happens all the time normally), and even start to become ill if I'm not careful to mentally separate myself. I wonder if this would ease if I did take on more selfless work. But, I do think I can help people in some way with my art and writing, if for no other reason than to inspire people to do what they are passionate about. I am developing more conceptual projects that will hopefully help women see themselves differently, maybe accept themselves underneath all the superficiality they are pushed so hard to cultivate. I like to imagine what humans could accomplish if we weren't so busy oppressing ourselves and others. Anyways, you are an amazing human being and I know you'll find something that is perfect for you. Have you made any art recently? :)

@phoenix But that's so good that you can recognise that and you certainly help others through your art. In many ways, from inspiration, engagement, stimulation to gathering people together, you help yourself too, to not express our creative impulses or use our talents is like doing harm to yourself I think. I look forward to seeing your new projects, I msut keep up with what everyone is doing now that I don't have instagram or anything like that. I have jsut slowly started to make some images again, I'm hoping I will use my extra time for that. I feel the desire again which is nice. I hope everything is going well for you. Do you think of coming back to Europe again anytime soon? x
